Travel: Belgium | Chaudfontaine | Château des Thermes

It feels like forever since we went on our gastronomic welness weekend in the Ardennes! Phew, with all the work going on in our new home, I would love to go back in a heartbeat. A few days of absolutely doing nothing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, sounds like a welcoming break from painting, laying floors and installing all kinds of things. ^^

Hello foodporn

For those who missed it on my social media (shame on you), a few weeks back, the boyfriend and I enjoyed a lovely long weekend at Hotel Château des Thermes. Our number one priority and the entire reason of this trip: try all the delicious food they had in store for us! That’s right, hello foodporn weekend. Multiple little plates artworks passed the revue and disappeared into our bellies. #ComeIntoMyBelly

Hot and cold!

The food, the saunas, hammams, jacuzzis and much much more the hotel had the offer, intrigued us. We’re not really the wellness kind-of-people… I often struggle with doing nothing. But hey, if it’s included… why not give it a shot. Outside pool and jacuzzi? Check! Chill lounge? Check! Switching between hot and cold? Check!

The first hours felt a little weird and uncomfortable. We were — after all — far away from our comfort zone. But after a few hours we started to feel reborn and we actually enjoyed the hot saunas, the cold cabins and the steamy hot hammams. Doing nothing actually started to feel pretty great.

Conclusion: enjoying quality time in a thermes with delicious food and with the person you love… not a bad way to spend a weekend right. ^^ Especially if your outfit of the weekend are white slippers and a white robe. #ComfyModeON
